Honoring the memory of "Andreas Hilboll"

One year after the sudden loss of our colleague Dr. Andreas Hilboll, the Laboratory for Modeling and Observation of the Earth System (LAMOS) of the University of Bremen (Germany) and the Environmental Chemistry Processes Laboratory (ECPL) of the University of Crete (Greece) offer four (4) Andreas Hilboll travel awards to honor the memory of Dr. Andreas Hilboll and strengthen the collaboration between the two laboratories and Universities.
Andreas was a talented young scientist, motivated to achieve a better understanding of air pollution and climate change and educate the next generation of students. He was an excellent and dedicated researcher, a highly intelligent individual, an inspiring teacher, and a passionate advisor. Most importantly, Andreas was an extremely kind and generous person who cared for others and was always available to discuss problems and find solutions. Dr. Andreas Hilboll was a well-respected and much-liked member of the international atmospheric chemistry community.

Sponsors

LAMOS (University of Bremen) and ECPL (University of Crete)

Description

Financial aid for up to one-month travel visits that will take place between 1.9.2021 – 1.9.2025. Two (2) of the travel awards will support Master or PhD student's visits from the University of Bremen to ECPL at the University of Crete and the other two (2) will support Master or PhD students from the University of Crete to visit LAMOS at the University of Bremen. The four travel awards will be distributed over the mentioned four years period so that one travel award will be allocated per year. A short report on the research stay has to be submitted within four weeks after the end of the trip.

Travel fund amount

The travel award will cover the round trip flight ticket and additional maximum costs of 750 EUR for accommodation and meal allowance for the stay to Bremen/Heraklion for a period of up to one month.

Who can apply

Master or PhD students registered at the University of Bremen and Crete and working on a relevant scientific topic to air pollution, remote sensing, chemistry-climate (forward/inverse) modeling. Applications can be made every year until May 30. They have to contain a one-page application letter explaining the scientific scope of the visit and a short cv of the candidate. Please send your application by e-mail to both:
